I *am* an "old timer", and I will do everything in my power to make
arch what it was.
I switched to arch only recently, but I've been using linux 10+ years.
So, as far as linux goes, I *am* an "old timer" as well, and as others
have stated do not wish to be babied and I need to know exactly what
is going with service starting/stopping, etc, and be able to control
it myself. I switched to arch from ubuntu (after trying half a dozen
or so other distros in between) and do not want arch to become an
ubuntu clone with only a different but similar package manager.
Hi, exact same for me.
"old timer", don't want to be babied, don't want hidden nasty things to be done
in my back.
I love the simplicity and straightforward way of Arch.
This is the perfect definition for Arch, and 100% adhere to it (extract from
wiki):
"Arch Linux defines simplicity as a lightweight base structure without unnecessary additions, modifications, or
complications, that allows an individual user to shape the system according to their own needs. In short; an elegant,
minimalist approach."
Btw, could be nice to put it in on top of the archlinux.org home page.
